So, yesterday I went to my local pet store, they had some new female bettas. Their sorority was REALLY aggressive, all the girls had torn and ripped fins. One of them didn't even have much fins left, just little stubs. I felt bad and bought a girl from it, she wasn't in that rough of shape. Her fins are pretty badly shredded though, and she has some swollen, lightish spot on her mouth, I can't really explain it and couldn't get any pictures of it. But she can open and close her mouth fine. But here's some pictures of her fins, I was giving her a salt bath while I took them so disregard the oxygen bubbles lol

Does anybody know if fin rot has set in, or white that spot on her lip could be?

Hopefully it's not this sense she shares a tank with 4 other girls and a male betta gonk Having the slightest chance of losing them all frightens me.

It hasn't since spread or faded. She's a little less active than the rest of my girls, but her find are shredded too so that could be a reason for inactivity. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that it's just an injury healing sad

I'd start soaking her food in garlic water, and add some Kordon Fish Protector to the water, and water changes every few days until we can figure something out...

How's she doing?

She's still doing the same, but her fins are growing in quite nice. I think it just might be an injury healing since I've heard that cotton mouth spreads fast and she would be in really bad shape already. But she just acts like any of my other girls.
